Impactos da indústria 4.0 na gestão de processos de produção

Abstract

Industry 4.0 represents a revolution by integrating new technologies into industrial processes, revolutionizing the entire way Production Process Management is managed, allowing for a more precise and automated flow of information. By forming a fluid connection between physical and digital systems, these innovations offer more agile response capabilities and integrated management, resulting in more efficient operations and generating lasting competitive advantages. In this context, this work aims to describe the contributions of Industry 4.0 to Production Process Management. Therefore, a literature review was conducted, gathering articles using a combination of Boolean operators and keywords in databases such as Scopus, aiming to identify the main existing points related to Industry 4.0 and production process management. Thus, we focus on showing how new technologies such as IoT, AI, Blockchain, Big Data, and Digital Twins interact with the areas of production management. The review identified approximately 71 articles on Industry 4.0 and Production Process Management (PPM), creating a table outlining all the contributions and synergies between the five Industry 4.0 tools and the four major areas of Production Process Management. The results indicate that the analyzed Industry 4.0 technologies interact and generate benefits in all areas of PPM, promoting greater efficiency, predictability, traceability, and support for decisionmaking, with potential applications for all five tools, although some may present more significant contributions than others.
